Thomas Flamank was a lawyer from Cornwall who together with Michael An Gof led the Cornish Rebellion against taxes in 1497. The Cornish believed their distance from Scotland - on whom the war taxes were to be used against - were too far from them to concern them, and refused to pay. Having stirred up the people of St. Keverne, Cornwall, into open rebellion, he led an increasing number of discontented peasants to London to protest and, ultimately, force King Henry VII to cancel the taxation.
